1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is directed to certain 2-substituted adenosine derivatives which have beneficial cardiovascular and antihypertensive activity in mammals, including humans and domestic animals. The present invention is also directed to a process for making said compounds.
2. Brief Description of the Prior Art
Adenosine has been known for a long time to possess certain cardiovascular, and particularly coronary dilator activity. In an effort to obtain adenosine analogs of greater potency, or longer duration of activity, or both, many analogs of this naturally occurring nucleoside have been synthesized and tested.
Moreover, numerous studies have been conducted in order to elucidate the biochemical mechanism of action of adenosine and its analogs, and several theories and hypotheses have been proposed regarding biochemical pathways and receptor sites.
For discussion of current theories regarding the foregoing, reference is made to the following articles and publications: Adenosine Receptors: Targets for Future Drugs, by John W. Daly, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 25, 197 (1982); Cardiovascular Effects of Nucleoside Analogs, by Herman H. Stein and Pitambar Somani, Annals New York Academy of Sciences, 225, 380 (1979); Coronary Dilatory Action of Adenosine Analogs: a Comparative Study, by. G. Raberger, W. Schutz and O.

Still more adenosine derivatives having beneficial cardiovascular activity are described in another application for United States Letters Patent of the present inventors, Ser. No. 601,435, filed on Apr. 18, 1984, now abandoned, Ser. No. 742,565, filed on Jun. 12, 1985, and Ser. No. 625,450, filed on Jun. 28, 1984.
Adenosine receptors have been subdivided into two subtypss: A1 receptors, which inhibit adenylate cyclase, and A2 receptors, which stimulate adenylate cyclase. It is thought that coronary vasodilation is mediated by A2 receptor activation [see, e.g., Haleen, S., et. al., Life Sci., 36, 127-137 (1985)]. In order to minimize side effects associated with activation of A1 receptors, it is a goal of pharmaceutical research to identify compounds highly selective for A2 receptors.
Among a series of related compounds, one early compound claimed to possess coronary vasodilatory activity was 2-phenylaminoadenosine (CV-1808) [see Marumoto, R., et. al., Chem. Pharm. Bull., 23, 759 (1975)]. More recently, a series of N6 -substituted adenosine derivatives were disclosed as having high A2 affinity and selectivity [see Trivedi, B. K., et. al., J. Med. Chem., 31, 271-273 (1988), and Bridges, A., et. al., J. Med. Chem., 31, 1282-1285 (1988)]. Another series of 2,5'-disubstituted adenosine derivatives have been disclosed as A2 agonists (European Patent Application EP-277-917-A).
Many of the known adenosine derivatives are less than satisfactory as theraupeutics agents, due to low activity, short duration of effect, toxicity or undesirable side effects. In this light, there is a continuing interest in identifying agents which posses an desired profile of highly selective and potent adenosine A2 receptor activity with minimal toxicity. The compounds of the present invention constitute a step in this direction.
There have now been discovered certain novel compounds having activity as A2 adenosine receptor agonists and having the structural formula: ##STR3## wherein R' is hydrogen, lower alkyl or lower alkoxy, R1 is selected from the group, consisting of branched, straight-chained or cyclic hydrocarbyl radicals, having from one to six carbon atoms, and radicals represented by the general formulae: ##STR4## wherein Y is selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, carboxy-lower alkyl and halogen; Z is oxygen, sulfur or --NH, Q is --CH or nitrogen, r is 0 or 1 and p is zero or an integer of from one to four; a is zero or an integer of from one to three; n is zero or an integer of from one to three; and m is an integer of from three to six; and
wherein, when R1 is a hydrocarbyl radical, it may be substituted with one or two radicals represented by the above general formula or substituted with --OR3, wherein R3 is hydrogen or lower alkyl, having from one to ten carbon atoms; R2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and straight chain, branched and cyclic hydrocarbyl radicals having from one to four carbon atoms, and optionally substituted with a hydroxyl radical; and
wherein X is two hydrogen atoms or oxygen and B is selected from oxygen and nitrogen, with the proviso that when X is two hydrogen atoms, B is oxygen, and with the further proviso that when R3 is present or R1 is a branched or straight-chained hydrocarbyl radical, then R1 must be substituted with one of the above radicals, and with the still further proviso that when B is oxygen, then R1 cannot be a phenyl or a substituted phenyl radical.
Certain derivatives of adenosine have been found in accordance with the present invention to selectively activate A2 adenosine receptors and to possess significant cardiovascular and/or vasodilatory anti-hypertensive activity. The compounds used in the present invention are selected from the group of stereoisomers or mixtures thereof of compounds having activity as adenosine A2 receptor agonists are represented by the formula: ##STR5## wherein R' is hydrogen, lower alkyl or lower alkoxy, R1 is selected from the group, consisting of branched, straight-chained or cyclic hydrocarbyl radicals, having from one to six carbon atoms, and radicals represented by the general formulae: ##STR6## wherein Y is selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl, lower alkyl, carboxy-lower alkyl and halogen; Z is oxygen, sulfur or --NH; Q is --CH or nitrogen; r is 0 or 1 and p is zero or an integer of from one to four, a is zero or an integer of from one to three; n is zero or an integer of from one to three; and m is an integer of from three to six; and
wherein, when R1 is a hydrocarbyl radical, it may be substituted with one or two radicals represented by the above general formula or substituted with --OR3, wherein R3 is hydrogen or lower alkyl, having from one to ten carbon atoms; R2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and straight chain, branched and cyclic hydrocarbyl radicals having from one to four carbon atoms, and optionally substituted with a hydroxyl radical; and
wherein X is two hydrogen atoms or oxygen and B is selected from oxygen and nitrogen, with the proviso that when X is two hydrogen atoms, B is oxygen, and with the further proviso that when R3 is present or R1 is a branched or straight-chained hydrocarbyl radical, then R1 must be substituted with one of the above radicals, and with the still further proviso that when B is oxygen, then R1 cannot be a phenyl radical or a substituted phenyl radical.

PAC Preparation of 2-(3-phenyl-1-propoxy)adenosineTo a cold (10 C) solution of 3-phenyl-1-propanol (6 mL, 4.4 mmoles) and 70 mL of dry tetrahydrofuran was added n-butyllithium 1.6M in hexanes (25 mL, 40.0 mmoles) via syringe. The above solution was stirred for 15 minutes at room temperature followed by the addition of 2-chloro-2',3'-O-isopropylideneadenosine (3.0 g, 8.8 mmoles). The mixture was refluxed for 4 days (HPLC showed less then 5% starting material). The solvents were removed in vacuo to give a dark brown syrup. Water (50 mL) was added and the pH adjusted to 7 with 4N HCl. The aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (4×50 mL) and the organic extracts dried over magnesium sulfate. The drying agent was filtered off and the solvents removed in vacuo to afford a brown syrup. This was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (40-60μ) using a step gradient of chloroform to 2% methanol in chloroform. The fractions that showed product were collected and the solvents removed in vacuo to give a light brown syrup (blocked nucleoside). The syrup was dissolved in 80 mL of methanol. To this solution was added 10 mL water and 10 mL 98% formic acid and boiled until HPLC showed no blocked nucleoside. Sodium bicarbonate was added until a pH of 7 was achieved. The solvents were removed in vacuo. To the residue was added 2-propanol and the insoluble salts were filtered off. The 2-propanol was removed in vacuo and the product purified by preparative HPLC on a C-18 column, using a linear gradient of 50-70% methanol in water to yield 700 mg (20%) of a colorless solid.

The characteristic NMR spectral peaks are: (60 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 3.3 (t, 2H), 3.42-5.5 (m, 8H), 4.67 (t, 2H), 5.84 (d, 1H), 7.22-8.05 (m, 7H), 7.89 (s, 2H), 8.18 (s, 1H).
Assays of the cardiovascular potency of the above compounds at the A1 receptors of the SA node and at the A2 receptor of the coronary artery employed perfused hearts from female Sprague-Dawley guinea pigs in an isolated Langendorff heart preparation. An assay consists of an infusion of a spectophotometrically standardized solution of test compound directly into the aortic cannula at rates increasing stepwise every 5 minutes. Collection of the total cardiac effluent during the first half of each infusion period provides a measure of coronary flow (A2 effect). The concentration of test compound required to produce a half-maximal increase in coronary flow is determined. Registration of the ECG assesses the effect of the test compound on SA node (stimulus to Q interval, A1 effect). The concentration of test compound required to produce a half-maximal prolongation of stimulus to Q interval is determined. Table I summarizes the resultant data, using adenosine as a reference compound. The ratio of A1 and A2 effects of test compounds are calculated to provide the selectivity ratio.

This data shows the high degree of potency and selectivity of the subject compounds in increasing coronary blood flow at low concentrations while having comparatively little effect on the SQ prolongation. The ratios calculated show the marked A2 selectivity of the subject compounds.
It is essential that the compounds herein be capable of binding selectively to A2 adenosine receptors e.g., in a human. 2-phenylethoxy-5'-(N-ethylcarboxamido)adenosine and 2-(4-fluorophenyl)ethoxyadenosine 2-[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethoxy]adenosine and 2-[2-(2-naphthyl)ethoxy]adenosine are particularly preferred compounds because of the high affinity and selectivity for A2 adenosine receptors. It is believed that the compounds herein will be useful as cardiac vasodilators in humans and other animals.
Various modifications of the herein disclosed invention, in terms of structural modifications of the invented compounds and also in terms of making or using the same, may become readily apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the above disclosure. For example, the compounds of the present invention may be administered as pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
Inasmuch as the compounds of the present invention are useful as cardiac vasodilators, cardiovascular, and particularly as anti-hypertensive agents in mammals, domestic animals and humans various modes of administering the compounds will be apparent to a person having average skill in the art. Such modes of administering the compounds include oral and topical administration, and intravenous infusion. One having average skill in the art may readily prepare suitable formulations for the abovementioned and other modes of administering the compounds of the invention.
